The Nigerian-based fanatics have dispatched up to 200 heavily armed troops to bolster ISIS forces in north Africa in a terrifying sign of the growing alliance between the two feared groups.

ISIS is fighting to take control of Libya - which has been engulfed by a chaotic civil war since the fall of Colonel Gadaffi - because it believes that it is a launchpad to Europe. 

Boosted by the deployment, gleeful ISIS fighters boasted online of how they will use their stronghold in the north African nation to invade Italy and other parts of southern Europe. 

The terrorists have described Libya as the "gateway to Rome" and it is thought they are planning to stow away fighters on smugglers' boats full of migrants destined for Italy. 

ISIS supporters posted a series of mocked up messages online showing the eternal city in flames and the black flag of their hate group flying above the Vatican. 

One even posted a map showing the area the terror group was targeting, writing in French that its fighters will conquer Iran, Burma, Rome and even America. 

Another, going under the name Abu el Gandal Barkawi, tweeted to ISIS supporters to "go to Rome through Libya, the port for Rome". 

He added: "The weapons of the Ottomans were launched and have surrounded Rome after conquering Libya to the south of Italy. Who wants to take Rome and Andalusia has to start from Libya."

Yes source?

Another key ISIS figure posted a rallying cry online calling for people from across the region to take up arms and fight for the group in Libya. 

Saudi national Ali el Gezrawi called for "brothers' unity" and said Islamist fanatics from Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan should join fighters from Boko Haram in Libya. 

He said: "Libya is the land of jihad and immigration, not only belongs to the Libyans, but to all Muslims who believe in God, and it is a state of the Caliphate. "

Islam is a curse

Boko Haram is not being defeated rather this shows they are getting stronger to the point of redeploying some of their members to help their Arab masters in Libya.
